Doctor
:
Hello. Welcome to ask the doctor.
I understand your concern.
For seborrhoeic eczema, I prefer to advise shampoo containing ketoconazole or cetrimide as the main content. Coal tar based shampoo can be used for small duration as it is not safe to use it for prolonged duration.
You may use any of the available good brand available in the market containing ketoconazole . It should be used on alternate day basis initially.
You can discuss this with your treating doctor.
I hope it helps.
Stay healthy.
